In this fiscal year, the United States economy has gradually recovered due to a steady recovery of employment environment, a rising trend of share prices and an improvement of personal consumption. European financial market has also regained stability. Meanwhile, in Asian economy including China, its prospects have been uncertain by the slowdown in the growth rate and unstable political situation.
In the Japanese economy, signs of upturn from the long deflationary trend are gradually shown by economic and fiscal policy of 'Abenomics'. However, the economic condition has still been uncertain because of a stagnation of personal consumption by the raising of the consumption tax.
Under the uncertain market condition, the MARUWA Group's business results during this fiscal year has stayed firm especially in the field of ceramic products for power modules.About the product (NFC sheet) for our communication terminal production majors, our pressed profit decrease that customer included stock disposal by the withdrawal of the communication terminal business of the communication terminal maker and large production adjustment. In the field of lighting equipment apparatus business, the inquiry of the community-related illumination changed including a road light smoothly, and the YAMAGIWA came out to the result of the constitution reinforcement steadily, but changed in the situation severe at all by market environment change and a change of assumption business environment more than it that included a consumption tax increase.
